“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost
What is the Wildlings Way?
Learning, enrichment & growth, for children, young people & adults, who need a little more.
Wildlings is an educational setting, an alternative provision, a supplemental school service, and a beautiful location for all ages to gather, for meaningful outdoor experiences.
Wildlings HQ is nestled in a stunning, private woodland, located on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border. Uniquely designed to provide a rich combination of services for a whole spectrum of people, ages and needs.
We work very closely with schools, parents, local authorities and private groups to help them provide a rich and unique experience for children and young people.
We know that combining learning, enrichment and growth helps children who need a little more, to grow and thrive.
Wildlings is a local authority approved setting.
We assist schools with OFSTED inspections, support parents to work with local authorities, and help design flexi-schooling programmes with both parents and schools, around the individual needs of each child. Wildlings is a backbone for home educating families and those ready to educate otherwise.
We also hold wonderful events, from private parties to weekend foraging sessions, for all ages, from 1 to 100!

TESTIMONIALS

“Wildlings was a breakthrough moment for my son; everything just fell into place for him once we started going to the family workshops sessions. The setting, activities and opportunities for child led time are invaluable. Natalia and her team are kind, warm and like a breath of fresh air. My son counts down the days to each session; says it all!.”
